Hello Amresh,

With 397 marks in NEET 2024, your chances of securing a seat in BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) depend on several factors, including the state you are applying to and the specific cut-off trends for that year. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Cut-off Trends: The cut-off for BAMS courses tends to be lower than for MBBS but can vary significantly by state and institution. Generally, states have different cut-off marks for BAMS, and 397 marks might be competitive in certain regions.

2. State Quota: If you are applying under a state quota, check the previous year’s cut-off marks for BAMS in your state. Some states have more favorable cut-offs for BAMS, which could improve your chances.

3. College Options: Explore private colleges as well, as they may have different admission criteria and lower cut-offs. Some private institutions might accept candidates with scores around 397 .

4. Alternative Courses: If getting a seat in BAMS seems uncertain, consider other options such as BHMS (Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine and Surgery), B.Sc. in Nursing, or other paramedical courses, which may have different admission criteria.
